5. Extra family joining us.
6. Time to reflect.
7. Mashed potatoes.
8. Sweet potatoes.
9. Time for prayer, and true thankfulness.
10. Pumpkin pie.
11. Cranberry sauce. I truly love the stuff. I am thankful for this day because we get to eat it, Yes, I know, I can by it and save it, or even make my own anytime of year, but today is THE day. Aaaahhhh yes.
12. Gravy. So bad for you, but so yummy. Today is the day for gravy too.
13. Whipped cream.
14. Full tummies.
15. Nap time.
16. Togetherness. I know some families struggle terribly to be on the same room together. Some families are simply too busy. I am thankful to be together with whomever is around for the day.
17."Magic salad" , my sister makes this. Aaron loves it. Although we won't be with my sister, i will try to re-create this for him, because I love him. I am thankful she will share the recipe with me.
18. Family game time.
19. Everybody cleans up.....it's nice that more people help clean up today.
